NBC: Real Bush Quotes

Doubt me if you will - but I lived through it. I went to
the funeral.


I'm sorry your friend died, but
don't twist the story to make it the fault of environmentalism.

Thank you for a most enlightening post, Karen


Karen, where do you see that Steve is "twist"ing his story? Perhaps you just
don't agree with his experience (and how can that be since you weren't there)
and that equates in your mind to a "twist"?? You seem to be embarassed by the
environmental agenda for you to attempt to cover for them.

Isn´t he an absolutely BRILLIANT man? (cof cof arghhhhh). I remember
when some national forest was on fire and he suggested cutting all the
trees. His conclusion was that they would have the safest forest in
the world. Anybody seen something called "forest" without trees? LOL

I sent the poem of GW quotations to a professor of mine (we used to analyze
GW quotations in his class) and I wrote, "It's nice to see Americans really
do believe in equal opportunity for all. Not many countries would elect a
president with clear learning differences" )

Ahem. He wasn't elected...

Don't start.

Sounds unlikely Steve. Like in any group, there are nuts everywhere.
But I am basically an environmentalist and would never stand in the
way of something so clearly necessary. Either these people are nuts or
there was something else going on.

dgk - It would appear you doubt my word. That's your option. But I lived
through this and watched one of my closests friend die because of the damn
fire it created. Environmentalism has become an extemist sport populated
with a raft of unbalanced individuals who could care less who they kill and
how much they damage. The Haughton Creek fire was just one more example in a
long list of them. Doubt me if you will - but I lived through it. I went to
the funeral.

These stories seem to tell a different story about the N. Idaho
forests. Fires are a part of the forest's natural cycle, and these
beetles are also a part of the cycle. I'm sorry your friend died, but
don't twist the story to make it the fault of environmentalism. Let's
also be honest that the environmental groups are concerned about the
old growth forest harvest that always seems to the focus of these
"thinning" projects to "reduce the risk of wildfire". Old-growth is
the most immune to forest fire, they teach you that in first-year
forest biology.



YOU, my dear, are a KOOK. Screw your 'cycles'! This isn't a game! All
this devastation could have and would have been avoided except for
lunatics like you. That's the reason God gave you a BRAIN, baby. So
you could RISE ABOVE the stupid animals.
This is what happens when groups like the environmental wack-Os get
too powerful. They won't give a commonsense inch for fear that it will
signal their downslide. So, the old pendulum starts to swing back the
other way. And THAT'S why wasteoids like You can't stand Bush. You
love your power too much and he threatens it. He doesn't share your
power-trip!
You people have the vision and perception of jellyfish.

Actually standard IQ tests don't involve a lot of reading at all. The
majority of the tests are "Culture Fair" which means that you can take the
same test no matter what language you speak. They mostly involve
identifying patterns within a series of pictures of diagrams and the
instructions for the tests are read out to you prior to starting.

I would guess, though, that an IQ of 87 is not quite right. If he does
have
dyslexia, then his supposed IQ score is likely low because IQ tests
usually
involve a lot of reading. Despite my belief that he's not the brightest
brick on the block, he's got to have a higher IQ than 87!

Let me take a shot, at least as it worked for me. Steve may have had a
valid complaint, but then it got paired with the old "they plant
another tree for each one they tear down - they don't want to run out
of trees" argument (not a quote, I don't have it in front of me - it's
about what I recall).

That is a straight out press release from the logging companies. It
makes no distinction between an existing eons old forest and clearcut
land with trees planted in neat rows for future logging. Therefore I
have to consider that perhaps the original story may be a bit slanted.
Particularly because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Environmentalists generally understand the interaction of ecological
systems pretty well and would not have a problem with a quarantine of
a problem area.

Perhaps this was an over-reaction by a particular group because of
some previous incident(s) that we don't know about? I can't say. All I
can say is that it sounds odd.
